The intro of a news television station plays and the cameras are turned on, a well-dressed man sitting comfortably on set, he was dressed in a dazzling blue suit, the suit was so stylish it made his eyes pop, he look like he was in his mid-thirties, he had short and curly hair which was nowhere near bald, his brows were thick and his face shaped like an egg, his teeth as white as snow as he smiles at the camera with his sharp jawline, sending his most charming smile to the world, he glims at the few pages of the newspaper he has before looking into the camera.

As soon as the intro music stopped playing, he hooked the audience with a convo

"Hello... Welcome to today's edition of moonlight news, I'm Benjamin Lawrence, bringing you all the untold fresh, yummy, juicy stories. Today we have Kaitlyn Barros with us here at the studio, Thank you for joining us Kaity."

He introduced himself and his special guest

"Thank you for having me, it's a pleasure to be here"

She replied whilst smiling at the camera

Benjamin goes on to break the headlines to his audience

"Antonio is dead. Even with the numerous rumors, talks, and denials, the people around him never imagined that he would ever meet an untimely death."

Benjamin turns to Kaitlyn, who carried on the story

"The multi billionaire and philanthropist was confirmed dead at 13.00 GMT +1, after suffering a severe heart attack"

Benjamin beating his on the desk before them making drumming noises as in continues

"Antonio's death leaves Vastech communication in a crisis, but Carlos Alba who is assuming the position of acting CEO until the next board of directors meeting has assured us, that there's nothing to worry about and that is under control."

Kaitlyn continues from where Benjamin left off

"In an official statement released to moonlight earlier today, Carlos meet some of our reporters and discussed the next step for Vastech"

The news flashes back to the interview which was taken hours ago with Carlos

"how do you intend to get everyone on the same page following the demise of the current chairman?"

A random reporter asked Carlos, he smiled before addressing the question

" This thing happens, in business, you can not win every day, but now is not the time to mourn, we are entering a new dimension in this company, and we need all hands on deck here"

Carlos answered the first reporter, while other reporters struggled to get his attention, he randomly picked another reporter to ask him a question

" Concerning the 3-year vastech internship, that was supposed to commence on Friday, has the recent occurrence created a change in plans?"

The reporter waited hastily for his answer

"No. I assure you everything is going according to plan and there will be no change in the schedule of the company"

Carlos answered confidently

The reporters began to struggle for his attention again but this time, he was done talking with them, he slowly stood up and walked away while his security team made sure there was a clear path for him to get to his vehicle, and the security pushed away reporters who tried to get to close or were persistent to ask another question, Carlos got to the car, immediately he shut the doors close, they drove of alongside the security convoys, the cars were all the same, five of the all shiny and same black other, the SUVs drove off and made heavy engine sounds like the left, it was no doubt that they were heading for the office.

They got to the office in no time, the security guards stood in parallel lines allowing Carlos to walk right through the middle, straight into the office, the security guards were huge and muscular, each of them was armed and from the look of their dressing, they were heavily equipped too, they wore bulletproof vest which protected their upper body entirely, their helmet was heavy and round and had yellowish shield at the face area, so you won't recognize who was wearing the uniform, they all had badges which were specifically numbered, it was this number that was used to identify and differentiate these security guards.

Carlos with his red suit and a nice colorful tie walked slowly into the office, down the hall, he approached the hallway where he opened the door to one of the offices, Carlos had requested an emergency meeting with the board of directors and claimed it was a pressing matter he wanted to discuss with the shareholders of the company, he got to the room and all the shareholders were already sitting on their seats given by their respective titles and roles to the company, all the chairs were occupied except two sits, one was the sit on a shareholder, this one being empty did not bother Carlos at all, he had his sight on something far more glorious, the second sit, which was the one at the edge, it was the sit of the CEO, yes he wanted to be the next CEO, so he started his proposal to the shareholders.

"As we all know, it is a tragic thing that has happened, but we must see the bigger picture here, vastech was on its way to becoming an economic superpower worldwide, and we can't let a few setbacks stop us or even slow us down."

The shareholders quietly listened to him as he continued making his point

"In a few days, project Veronica commences and we need someone to overlook the project and other related issues"

Carlos kept talking as he walked around the room, he stopped walking as soon as he got to the sit made for the CEO and delivered his final proposal.

"I call for a public vote, to make me permanent CEO to oversee these projects and carry on the good work of taking this company to the next level"

Carlos raised his hand and asked

"All in favor?"
